Common questions

Is Mexican food safe for kidney disease?

The KDIGO 2024 guideline recommends limiting sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Mexican cooking can work when you track these per serving. MedMenu shows all three for every recipe.

How much sodium per meal with CKD?

KDIGO recommends under 2,000mg sodium per day — roughly 667mg per meal. MedMenu shows exact sodium per serving against this limit.

Why do CKD patients need to watch potassium?

Damaged kidneys can't remove excess potassium efficiently. Too much can cause dangerous heart rhythms. The KDIGO guideline suggests keeping daily intake under 2,000mg (roughly 667mg per meal). MedMenu shows potassium per serving.

Which Mexican foods are kidney-friendly?

Dishes with lower potassium and phosphorus — typically those without bananas, avocados, dairy, or dark leafy greens — tend to be safest. MedMenu shows sodium, potassium, and phosphorus per serving so you can compare.
